Unfortunately I was recommended here. I had a full lift, breast aug. about a year ago. I developed a very large staph infection and sent multiple messages via email and text to the staff and doctor with images. I was told to take the antibiotics and there was no concern. However, I am left with huge scarring. I paid 11k, I'm ok with a scar but it should not look this way. I have tried to re-consult and set up multiple appts to address it as it needs to be revised... considering the amount I paid and the trust I had within the practice. I'm just left disappointed and scarred. Don't even know if it's worth the revision from him at this point. Had to bring in my own mom to speak to the doctor as he wouldn't take me seriously. Honestly, he comes off very conceited. If you're a plastic surgeon and you seek perfection, wouldn't you want your patient happy? I work in the medical professional and I could never leave someone feeling this way about themself. I will not send anyone here. Ever.

I was recommended this place and the reviews made me feel good about this person. But, your experience isn't always what everyone elses is. I was met with hostility from the nurse who worked with me first. I mentioned I watched some of the doctors tik toks and her response to any question I had after that comment was "didnt you watch his tik toks?". Like no, i didnt watch ALL of his tik toks, i still have questions about a life altering surgery. Shocker. At this time, i had told everyone I interacted with my name and pronouns, as well as the front desk before i even came. But that didn't matter. Every person I interacted with, used my dead name and assigned at birth pronouns. Pretty upsetting since I was there for a non binary affirming surgery. The doctor finally arrives and immediately asks me to take off my top. Barely a hello. Im uncomfortable but I do it and he just HAS to mention how sweaty my chest is. (I was wearing a binder prior). Then just starts pinching fat under my armpit, saying we will have to get right of this too. Not talking to me though. Talking to the nurse. He gives me jargon speak and then leaves, saying I can schedule whenever i want. Safe to say, I am not going back. And I recommend my other LGBTQ+ to not go either, unless you like being belittled, missgendered, dead named and made fun of.

I could not be happier with my experience with Dr. Mangubat for chest reconstruction surgery. I am so pleased with my results and really enjoyed him and his team. Fast and easy communication, I was able to do most of my communications via email which worked best since I work nights and sleep during most office hours. 100% recommend.

Honestly, the whole process has been a dream come true. I was so nervous but everyone involved quickly alleviated all of my concerns. Appointments were timely, the staff and Dr. Mangubat were attentive to my needs and desires and have answered any questions I may have had. Everyone truly went above and beyond for me, before and after. I’m a week post-op as of tomorrow and everything has been great. I honestly can’t put into words how easy this team has made everything for me, and Dr. Mangubat KNOWS what he’s doing. 👏

I love my top surgery results! I trusted Dr. Mangubat to do exactly what was necessary and I have been absolutely thrilled with the results. All the staff at his clinic have been absolutely incredible, so supportive, accessible, and always made me feel like I could reach them for absolutely any issues/concerns with no hesitation or shame whatsoever. Thankful for his welcoming and kind attitude,

I went here for FtM top surgery last week and it was such a great experience! I was so nervous at first because I didn't know what to expect, but the staff was so friendly, professional, and caring that my anxiety went away fast. Dr. Megan was my surgeon and she did an excellent job! I was able to recover very fast and easily (with a little help, of course) and with not as much discomfort as I had imagined. I am very, very happy with the results! The rest of the staff was great as well. The anesthesiologist was probably the best anesthesiologist I've had yet because she explained every step in the anesthesia process so that I wasn't caught by surprise once the medicine started working and I got knocked out, which was something I was very nervous about before. The nurses and other surgical staff were also great! No one came off as judgemental or transphobic at all, which is unfortunately something I've gotten used to when it comes to doctors, but everyone at this clinic was very friendly, accepting, and awesome! Five stars feels too low of a rating for this excellent clinic! I want to rate it 10 stars!

Dr. Mangubat is AMAZING! All the staff was great. Very welcoming environment. Was never misgendered once. They were all very respectful. 100/10 experience

Dr Tony and team have performed 6 larger surgeries on me over 12 years. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I love the results and appreciate the 5 star care.

I have gone to La Belle Vie since 2011. I have had several large surgery’s and countless smaller procedures. Dr. Tony and the whole team are like family to me. Everyone always remembers me, they are kind and thoughtful. I go back because I know no matter what happens, they will never allow me to leave unhappy and they are professional and innovative. I want to thank everyone at La Belle Vie for changing lives and in some cases, saving them. You are all miracle workers.

The surgeon and staff were wonderful! Everything was done timely (I actually got my appointments earlier than I would have anticipated), and everyone here was very nice and always open to any questions I had. They were very caring and seemed invested in my care. I had an issue with my insurance and they were very understanding and helped me figure it out. :)

I love the way they did my lip filler! I felt super comfortable this was my first time. Dr. Anne Marie fombu was amazing and her staff. She explained everything in full detail. Very clean! I can’t wait to come to my next appointment.

I completely disagree with the 1 star review. I helped someone very dear to me get their Breasts removed and transition years ago. I attended every appointment and surgery. This staff, Dr and everyone was so respectful kind and on board with supporting their patients like this. To this day I am grateful of how sage they made him feel. If you are looking for someone or place to hold your hand through this hard time this is the place! Also his chest was and is a masterpiece man!

Could not recommended this place more! Got my top surgery over a year and a half ago with Dr. Mangubat and have loved every second since. The nurses and staff were so kind and wonderful during the entire process of the surgery and Dr. Mangubat himself is brilliant. Thank you La Belle Vie!
